Wattif EV AS CTO Øystein Tomassen Discusses Pioneering Smart Charging Solutions and Flexibility Markets in the Nordics

Øystein Tomassen, CTO of Wattif EV AS, discusses grid management for destination charging in the Nordic markets. With 13 years of experience and a strong presence across Europe—including Norway, Sweden, Germany, Austria, UK, and Ireland—Wattif EV AS is backed by Marguerite infrastructure fund. They manage around 45,000 charge points with approximately 250k sessions monthly from about 100k unique users. The company aims to integrate EV infrastructure into the flexibility market to balance electricity supply-demand while supporting renewable energy integration and avoiding power grid overloads. In collaboration with Hafslund and Nodes broker platform in Norway's mature market (75% participation), they offer smart charging solutions that reduce consumption during peak times without lowering total usage—a concept termed "smart charging version 2.0." This involves spreading out power use over time rather than reducing overall consumption. The pilot project demonstrated potential benefits through reduced charger power at specific intervals; however not all cars charged simultaneously allowing more chargers available for reduction efforts. Flexibility optimizes costs/usage offering premium services end-users appreciate within public/destination settings like shopping malls or multi-dwelling units where grouped AC chargers are ideal scenarios leveraging regulatory readiness/security integrations ensuring conformity laws/platform choices hardware/software flex-ready partners Ampeco core CPM system cloud control agnostic DLM implementations important provider requests lower participate flex-market scaling deliver eight/nine gigabytes monthly delivering Thanks Royston!

Talk of session: V1X and V2X Business Models Integrating Grids and Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are more than clean transport. They are key to the distributed energy ecosystem. Unlocking their potential requires smart (V1X) and bidirectional (V2X) charging, both essential for seamless grid integration and maximizing the value of electric vehicles as flexible energy assets.Such solutions help EV owners cut costs and generate revenue while enabling grid operators to manage congestion, enhance stability, and support a cleaner energy transition.This session will explore business models for cost-effective V1X and V2X integration, focusing on grid-EV interaction and demand-side management in residential and commercial settings.
